Allston explicitly notes accounting related to Matanza Plantation, later known as Chicora Wood. Other account records do not explicitly state plantation sites.
Meeting minutes volume kept by the Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim Board of Trustees, 1838-1843. This meeting minutes volume is the first volume created by the KKBE Board of Trustees following the fire of 1838, which had destroyed the old synagogue and all earlier minutes books. The entries in this volume concern all matters regarding synagogue business, finances, memberships, rebuilding the synagogue, and establishing a school for the congregation youth. The minutes also include discussions regarding the proposal of purchasing an organ for the new synagogue, which would contribute to a schism within the congregation and begin KKBE's turn towards Reform Judaism.
Meeting minutes not included in the minutes book listing brief notes on the topics discussed by the Board of Trustees and the dates when they were discussed.
